Portuguese print business reflects on time and cost savings following 2017 investmentBased in Lisbon, Ocyan Group is a leading print company offering a full end-to-end service from pre-press to finishing, delivering a range of offset, commercial digital and wide format applications to a variety of customers in Portugal and beyond.

The installation of Phoenix software in 2017 has transformed Ocyan’s wide format print division, massively reducing the time and manpower necessary to deliver high quality products to its demanding customers.

In our wide format business, we produce a huge range of display products, including POS, exhibition graphics and OOH, printing to a variety of rigid and flexible media,

says Ocyan Production Director, Carlos Júlio.

Our customers value our professionalism and our ability to act as consultants and advisors to ensure they get the products that are going to best meet their specific needs.

In addition, our customers also demand, and have come to expect from us, exceptionally high quality and timely delivery. We pride ourselves on keeping to strict deadlines, and are always on the lookout for opportunities to enhance this aspect of our service offering in any way we can.

We were already happy customers of Fujifilm, as we have been buying photographic papers and development chemicals from them for many years and it was through this connection that we learned about Phoenix, a Tilia Labs wide format, workflow software tool, which Fujifilm offers as part of its XMF portfolio of products.

We saw in this product, the potential to save ourselves a significant amount of time – giving us the opportunity to pass cost savings onto our customers as well as delivering products to them far more quickly than we had in the past.

Complex job set up time that would typically have taken around half an hour previously, using a largely manual process, now takes two to three minutes, thanks to the degree to which Phoenix automates the layout process. Waste is also down as a result, and over the course of a week the time savings become substantial. Planning time used to require two people for five days a week, now the same workload can be accommodated by one person in three days. This has freed up a huge amount of staff time to direct to other uses and gives us the opportunity to target new customers and business opportunities that we would not have had the capacity for in the past. We have also seen a noticeable increase in the amount of positive feedback we have received from our regular customers in the speed with which we are able to deliver products to them.

Overall, we’re delighted with the Phoenix investment and have been very impressed with the technical service and support that Fujifilm has provided throughout.

Production efficiency is one of the keys to success for any print business amid the many challenges of the modern marketplace. Fujifilm provides real solutions right across its product range to make this a reality, and workflow tools have a vitally important role to play. We are delighted to see the huge benefit Ocyan has gained from its Phoenix investment so far and we look forward to continuing our partnership with them in the months and years to come.

This development created big challenges for vision system designers as it was difficult to find the right lenses for such sensors: High resolution power, strong light transmission, distortion-less imaging, short minimum object distance (MOD), a small Chief Ray Angle (CRA), and all this from the center to the edges of the large image circle – these were just the optical requirements. Equally important remain the compact build of the lenses and their robustness against shocks and vibrations.

FUJIFILM thoroughly listened to the needs and pain-points of its Machine Vision customers and created the CF-ZA-1S series to meet all the above-mentioned requirements and goes even beyond. The CF-ZA-1S lens series is designed for use with all standard machine vision cameras that use C-mount, an image sensor of up to 1.1” optical format, and pixel pitches from 2.5 µm, which equals up to 23 megapixels. The MOD is just 100 to 200 mm and the maximum CRA is at 4.9° as required by the latest high-resolution sensors. This guarantees a high relative illumination across the entire image without vignetting.

FUJINON’s patented Anti-Shock and Vibration design limits shifts of the optical axis to 10 µm and ensures constant resolution power in the typical, rough manufacturing environments. These lenses also come with knurled screws which cannot accidentally fall out anymore and get lost or damage sensitive manufacturing machines during installation or maintenance.

All these features are designed in a compact build with the world-smallest external diameter of just 39 mm for the 1.1” optical format. The series provides a lineup of six different lens models with different focal lengths from 8 to 50 mm, allowing customers to choose the lens most appropriate for their desired application. The CR-ZA-1S is the universal one-for-all solution of modern machine vision systems. It will be available from Q1 2019.

Unseen Amsterdam returned for its seventh edition, from 21 to 23 September 2018
at the Westergasfabriek. Unseen is the leading platform for contemporary photography. Exclusively focusing on what’s new in the photography world, Unseen provides a channel for up-and-coming talent to showcase their work.

The Fujifilm Faculty

With the aim of opening up new opportunities for emerging artists, and in line with Fujifilm’s investigative spirit, Fujifilm and Unseen collaborated to create the Fujifilm Faculty. For its first edition, the Italian collective The Cool Couple – Niccolò Benetton and Simone Santilli – were commissioned to research the nature of Fujifilm through an exploration of processes and people. The collective generated work with a focus on Fujifilm original photo paper and the processes involved, from taking a photo to making the final print.

‘A collectivity with a story to tell’

As a sponsor, we gave Unseen a catalogue of questions to be answered by way of video to create an exhibition. Together with Mals Media, a media company located in Amsterdam, they produced a beautiful, emotional video that was shown within the Fujifilm Faculty. The Cool Couple also gave daily workshops to visitors which focused on the emotion of taking a picture: We live in a digital world with thousands of images on our mobile phones – what is the value of a picture and what are your memories of that moment?

During the workshops, several instax moments were captured and collected in a time capsule, which will be placed somewhere on Fujifilm’s premises, to be opened in 10 years’ time. The aim is to relive the emotion of the very moment the picture was taken.

The American collective Coramu was also present, holding daily workshops. We created their GO book on Album Paper XS to showcase photo paper’s possibilities.

Launch of our new photo paper Maxima

Another highlight: On Friday night, we presented our new, ultimate photo paper – Fujicolor Crystal Archive Professional Paper Maxima – within the Fujifilm Faculty. Several professional labs, photographers and the product development team were present at this event.

To sum up: Unseen was a big success for Fujifilm Imaging. We have talked to photographers, students, consumers, international photo labs and curators, all of whom have provided us with inspiring feedback. This is a great way to put photographic paper in the spotlight for all generations.]]>Képkidolgozás Original Photo PapersFri, 30 Nov 2018 11:36:00 +0100Imaging unlimitedhttps://www.fujifilm.eu//nc/hu/hirek/article/imaging-unlimited

FUJIFILM has released FUJINON binoculars with exceptional performance: the TECHNO-STABI TS12x28 has an image stabilizer, which can be used without a tripod, even at high magnification.

When normal binoculars are held by hand, distant objects can appear to tremble and blur. This is particularly distracting when working with high magnifications and dark scenery. The TS12x28's image stabilizer provides stable images even at 12x magnification. The vibration correction works precisely at an angular range of ± 3°. This makes it very possible to observe moving vehicles or ships.

Furthermore, the TS12x28 has an extraordinary light intensity, which also produces sharp and high-contrast images for astronomical observations. This is achieved through multi-coated optics and phase-coated prisms. The focus is adjusted by means of a central focus wheel, which can be operated with one finger.Thanks to the fiberglass-reinforced and compact plastic casing, the binoculars are lightweight, easy to handle, robust and waterproof. The power consumption is so low that one battery charge lasts up to 12 hours. The power saving mode also switches the device off automatically after 10 minutes. Therefore, the TS12x28 is recommended for very long observations.The application areas are unlimited, for example in sports, in nature, at concerts or on the high seas.

2. Improved eye-sensor response Reduced the time to switch between EVF and LCD when you select “eye-sensor” on the viewfinder display settings.

3. Supports simultaneous delete for RAW and JPEG filesWhen RAW / JPEG is selected in the card slot setting (for still image), RAW/JPEG image can be deleted simultaneously. By selecting “OFF”, only the RAW image will be deleted.

1. 4K HDR video recording in Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG)Supports 4K HDR video recording in the Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG), one of the formats defined in the ITU-R BT.2100 international standards *.

Firmware Version:

FUJIFILM X-H1 Ver. 2.00 : December 2018

1. In-body image stabilization and optical image stabilization now work together to improve overall stabilityWith an XF or XC optical image stabilized lens, in-body image stabilization worked with 3 axis (up and down / optical axis rotation). The remaining 2 axis (right and left pitch, yaw angle) was controlled by optical image stabilization in the lens. This firmware has a new image stabilization algorithm to allow the in-body image stabilization to work in all 5 axis and to achieve more than five-stops (up to the equivalent of 5.5 stops *7 ) image stabilization by cooperative control according to the types of frequency and blur amount. To activate this function, lenses are necessary to be updated to latest firmware version. Please check the latest firmware version from the link below.
